THIS BOOK CONTAINS THE RESULTS OF TWO INDEPENDENT ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDIES CONDUCTED IN THE HEART OF GLASTONBURY TOWN CENTRE AT 11 HIGH STREET, NOW THE FOOTPRINT OF THE BUSY DOUBLE AWARD-WINNING GAUNTLET SHOPPING THOROUGHFARE.

The studies were commissioned by the Developer and Landlord/owner Doug Hill between 2005-2007. They were requested as a pre-condition for planning by Somerset County Council as it was considered imperative to document the history of the site, the development of which offered a unique opportunity prior to the commencement of the building works.

This is a Grade 2 listed building positioned in the centre of a conservation area in the heart of Glastonbury (adjacent to the Tribunal, a Grade 1 Listed building) and as such is considered to be of great importance. The land at 11 High Street was stripped, mapped and the artefacts logged. The broad spectrum of finds were subsequently donated to the Somerset Museum, Taunton.
